The headlines are such a joke. I often wonder if they are not trying to force the market with their relentless propaganda. It's like someone gets a rush off of it because they had a story that made someone else panic-sell. Like some cheap hole message board crap. That really makes these reporters lose credibility.

And oh yeah, last week, Bernie says something and the market reacts... slightly... Are they trying to measure popularity and power by how markets respond? Trying to be like Greenspan?

The headlines are not headlines unless they are provocative. "The world ends tomorrow" is provocative; the truth usually isn't. They are doing their jobs according to their (owner's) standards. That is part of the landscape.

The Bulls feed them stories and the Bears feed them stories. Perhaps the solution is to identify the "noise" and the "wisdom" and just ignore the "noise". You've got better things to do with your time anyway. (Like researching stocks.)
